Re: Build lua shared libraries

[askok@...]

Is there a reasoning why the shared libraries are not 
build targets in the 5.1 Makefile?

There's been separate requests about this recently, on OS 
X as well as now Linux.   Wouldn't it be enough to just 
have liblua.dylib and liblua.so targets, in the Makefile, 
even if they wouldn't be normally built.

This way, no machine specific ifdefs would need to be 
used. The people wondering "how" would see the targets, 
and say "make liblua.so".

Maybe this has been stated already - if so I'm sorry it 
missed my eyes).
